Does anyone else think that at this point BM is just letting her get on with it?

Either that or she's just totally ignoring any advice he's giving her.

NJ: "Did you go back and cook the charts to make it look like [Child G] was declining?"

LL: "No."

Letby says both dots are "in the normal range".

Letby: "I haven't misdocumented anything." Two dots are recorded in the 3am column [when Letby was not on shift], and Letby suggests someone else has misdcoumented.

Someone else AGAIN. It's just never her, is it?

It worries me that this is what BM is going to labour on in his closing statement. He’ll be like you have to find her guilty beyond ALL REASOANBLE DOUBT and if you think there is any doubt at all that another person could have done these things, even as mistakes and not meaning to do them, you must find her not guilty.

got a bad feeling about it TBH
But BNE can also hammer home that the only common denominator in every incident is LL and yet she has blamed a different person for each and every event which is beyond coincidental and looks like she is deflecting. 2-3 deaths per year and suddenly every baby she is involved death dies suddenly by a different person's fuck up each time. It just wouldn't happen

As hurtful and tearful this trial is, I'm trying to turn it round into a positive as this (imo) gives those babies a voice if that makes sense. She's evil
I agree. The lawyers involved in these types of cases do a fantastic job of giving these babies a voice, as NJ is showing. It's a big responsibility and I'm sure he is spurred on by the parents sitting there too, relying on him to get justice done. The prosecution for Star Hobson was great too.

What did you make of her keep saying "things went home with her" like they chose to do this as opposed to her saying "I took them home" in the case of the handover sheets, paper towel and blood gas report
An innocent person would have no problem saying "I took them home" especially if it was a mistake. She knows there is a sinister reason for having those sheets so she is trying to minimise how they ended up at her house. Of course the media reporting isn't exactly verbatim. The court transcripts would be more telling I think.

Take this statement:

Asked by Mr Myers to describe the atmosphere among medics when a child cannot be revived, Letby said: “Everyone is completely flat.
“There is a complete change in atmosphere.


To me this feels odd. The word "flat" isn't a word I would use if I was in this situation.

I remember when I worked in childcare and one of the kids I was looking after had an accident. For me the atmosphere was frantic, I didn't feel "flat", I felt terrified and devastated. Thankfully the little boy I was looking after was fine but I still remember everything about that day. When I got home afterwards (knowing he was ok) I was exhausted, I blamed myself and I was genuinely really upset. This was a very minor event compared to what those medics had to deal with.

Mr Myers said: “How does it feel?”
Letby said: “To me personally? It’s devastating. You want to be able to save every baby in your care.
“You are not supposed to watch a baby die.”

The first part of her answer is fine. Her answer should be in relation to how she feels personally. But she then says "You want to be able to save every baby in your care.." not "I want to be able to save every baby in my care". This is her barrister asking the question, if that was me and I was innocent I would be using the pronoun "I". She is using "You" - she doesn't need to create resonance with her own barrister as he is already on her side. Unless of course she is trying to create resonance with the Jury...?

This is just mithering on my part - I am not an expert - human behaviour and language just fascinates me.

I literally cannot believe what I am reading right now.
She needs to inform BM she wishes to plead guilty this afternoon, this is an absolute insult to the babies and families in this case.
How DARE she lie and lie and lie.
Whole life order and nothing else for her.

I know BNE 2.0 will have a team of people behind him but I think I’m most impressed that despite that he still has to know every single detail inside out so he can think on the spot in response to Lucy. There is no time to say ‘let me just check the wiki’ 🤣🤣

"I didn't take it out of the confidential bin...." :rolleyes:
So she basically took it out of A bin but not that one. She's ensuring she doesn't lie but also doesn't tell the truth. Evil individual.

“Had a good relationship” she’s in hospital with her sick premature baby what part of that is time for making fucking friends with the nurses. She’s so self absorbed it makes me vomit, seriously assuming that parents who just want to see their children get better and come home are making relationships with the staff

I mean it probably is actually traumatizing to be a serial killer and finally get caught.

Not only that, but she spent two years 2016-2018 worrying if she was going to get away with it or not, with an increasing likelihood that the police were after her.

2018, finally arrested at 6am, with Diddums in her jimjams. Then given hope when she was released without charge. Probably thought she had got away with it, although she was booted out of her own house.

2019, she's raided again at Mum and Dad's. But yet again she's given a glimmer of hope when she's released without charged.

2020, after another year worrying and wondering if she was ever going to get away with it, her world comes craashing down when she's charged and put in the slammer.

It really must have been tumultuous. So I can believe she has PTSD. And she deserves every bit of it.

Ok I’m still baffled. That is quite a lot of rabbiting on about sewage. Can anyone tell me how the sewage only causes issues for babies on Letby’s shift? How did sewage cause cardiac arrests and deaths that Letby is saying in all her texts to anybody that will listen just how shocking and unexpected the collapses and deaths were? She says this all the way along. And at no point after 3 babies died in 2.5 weeks did she think, fucking hell I’ve got to do something about this I’m working in a unit overflowing with shit and babies are dying at the annual rate in a couple of weeks. Every time I’m on shift practically.
How could anybody find this garbage believable????

First time poster. I have followed these threads avidly throughout the very start and have loved reading everyone’s opinions and also the banter to get everyone through the tough times. You are all amazing !
One thing that popped into my head randomly is why if Lucy was innocent would she describe the rash completely different to everyone else!
She knows the rash is from her causing an air embolism and that’s why she has to describe its appearance differently! If innocent she would have no reason to deny!
There are so many witness accounts she contradicts because she knows these little snippets will lead people to her guilt!

Nothing he can do at this point though, he can't talk to her whilst she's giving evidence. She is completely rogue and all he can do is watch!

A thought has just struck me while gardening (when I get my best ideas...) Her messages about being worried she was missing something, that she wasn't good enough, that she was worried she was being incompetent....if that were me, and I had any doubts about my ability to nurse in NICU, there is not a chance in hell I wouldn't raise those fears with my line manager and ask to be taken off their care because I wouldn't want to leave anything to chance. If she were so traumatised, and so worried about not being good enough, why on earth was she so desperate to get back into nursery 1? If she cared about the babies and families, how could she talk about being worried she is "missing something" and yet still try to insert herself into the care of babies she wasn't even supposed to be responsible for? Or come in when she wasn't even on shift? It just doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

I'm sure this has been spoken about on these threads before but I'm brand new and only read the last 2 so far...
